FYI, if want to see Dear Zachary, which can be streamed from netflix. Do not read all of the plot on Wikipedia. They have a spoiler that I just read.

Think all the Wiki plot summaries contain the full plot, so spoilers are to be expected.
 
I've never been brought to tears by any movie, ever. However, I did come close while watching a documentary entitled "The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off". The documentary follows a boy named Johnny Kennedy who has a terrible genetic condition called Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, which meant that his skin literally fell off at the slightest touch, leaving his body covered in agonizing sores and leading to a final fight against skin cancer. I now see it's available on Youtube, so check it out. It's very depressing though.

Dear Zachary is up there.

The first 5-10 minutes of Up, and also about the last 5-10 minutes of Brokeback Mountain are pretty sad as well (Heath Ledger's character in his trailer, talking to his daughter).

That's a good one. I also saw it as a kid and was probably the first movie I recall crying at. Pretty amazing for a made for TV movie, no?

I also use to always cry when Shelly Winters died in
'Poseidon Adventure'.
